The European Network of Excellence NANOFUN-POLY has been generated to become the European reference for Multifunctional Nanostructured Polymers and Nanocomposite Materials. This objective has been reached through a trans-disciplinary partnership of 120 scientists combining excellence in different scientific areas. Applications that benefit from NANOFUN-POLY concern strategic industrial sectors which can be competitive only by using advanced technologies: optoelectronics and telecommunications, packaging, agriculture, building construction, automotive and aerospace, biomaterials, etc.

The main deliverable of the NANOFUN-POLY project is the foundation of the European Centre for Nanostructured Polymers – ECNP – which develops a Joint Program of Activities aimed at structuring, shaping and promoting research on nanostructured polymers and nanocomposites. The integrating activities include sharing of research facilities/tools/platforms, a joint management of the participants’ knowledge portfolio, staff mobility and exchanges and the use of electronic communication tools to support interactive working. In addition, NANOFUN-POLY and ECNP perform a joint programme of research, developing new research programmes and sharing platforms for common use.

Finally, activities designed to spread excellence are performed through a joint programme for training researchers and PhD students. This include the International PhD Program on Materials Nanotechnology and the European Master on Polymer Nanotechnologies. Other dissemination and communication activities include transfer technology and raising public awareness and understanding of science.

The final objective is the consolidation of a lasting integrated organisation of European researchers, well connected with the rest of the world and able to lead research, education and technology transfer in nanostructured polymers and their nanocomposites.
